@ Now when
Ezra
had
prayed
, and when he had
confessed
,
weeping
and casting himself
down
before
the
house
of
God
, there
assembled
unto him out of
Israel
a
very
great
congregation
of
men
and
women
and
children
: for the
people
wept
very
sore
.
strkjv@Ezra:10:2
@ And
Shechaniah
the
son
of
Jehiel
Y@, one of the
sons
of
Elam
,
answered
and
said
unto
Ezra
, We have
trespassed
against our
God
, and have
taken
strange
wives
of the
people
of the
land
: yet now there
is
hope
in
Israel
concerning this thing.
strkjv@Ezra:10:3
@ Now therefore let us
make
a
covenant
with our
God
to put
away
all the
wives
, and such as are
born
of them, according to the
counsel
of my
lord
, and of those that
tremble
at the
commandment
of our
God
; and let it be
done
according to the
law
.
strkjv@Ezra:10:4
@
Arise
; for this
matter
belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good
courage
, and
do
it.
strkjv@Ezra:10:5
@ Then
arose
Ezra
, and made the
chief
priests
, the
Levites
, and all
Israel
, to
swear
that they should
do
according to this
word
. And they
sware
.
